I n t e r n a t i o n a l Co n fe re n c e on Compressed Air
This conference, sponsored by the British '13mnelllng Society, the U.IL Health and Safety Executive and the MRC Decompression Sickness Panel, is being org-nlzed by the Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA). The objectives of the conference are: recognition of the potential uses of compressed air; fuller understand_inS of the risks to health; identification of technical changes in construction methods; establishment of desirable clinical procedures; and safer and healthier working practices. A small eThlhition of commercial services and equipment will accompany the conference.
